Freelancing as an AWS Developer

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides on-demand cloud computing platforms and APIs to individuals, companies, and governments. The AWS technology is implemented at globally distributed server farms and maintained by Amazon. AWS comprises 165+ services spanning computing, storage, networking, database, analytics, application services, deployment, management, mobile, developer tools, and tools for the Internet of Things (IoT). Most of these services are offered through APIs for developers to use in their applications, rather than being visible for end users. An AWS developer is responsible for setting up, maintaining, and evolving the cloud infrastructure of web applications. AWS developers are expected to understand the core AWS services and apply best practices regarding security and scalability.

Freelance AWS developers in the top 10th percentile globally can earn a salary of up to $197,600 per year, or an hourly rate of up to $95. As the hiring for freelance AWS developer jobs becomes more competitive, AWS developers are likely to see their AWS contractor rates go up, however this calculator will dynamically reflect current salary data. Other inputs that adjust a freelance AWS developer’s hourly rate include remote vs. on-site location, years of experience, and whether the requested client engagement is full-time or part-time.

How the Calculator Works

Toptal is the largest fully remote network of high-skilled freelancers in the world. We created this tool using our large, comprehensive database of vetted freelancers. Data is regularly updated and excludes hourly rates that fall in the 1-10th percentile and in the 90-100th percentile to remove outliers.

The Freelance Calculator empowers you to see how much you could earn as a freelancer, including what your hourly rate would need to be to match your current or desired salary based on the number of hours you work per week.

Calculations of weekly, monthly, and yearly salaries are determined by a one week unit of measure: hours per week multiplied by hourly rate. By default, values are 40 hours per week and the 25th percentile hourly rate. Monthly salaries are calculated as the summation of 4 weekly salaries, and yearly salaries are calculated as the summation of 52 weekly salaries.
